I hurts like hell to hold my head aloft. But I did my best because you deserved it even though it is excruciating to write.<br> You deserved it because I think you were bragging on about yourself. I am certain that you have a terrific and fantastic and admirable GG collection, perhaps even one of the best ever. But just to get even a copy of newspaper article from you is impossible without promising a kidney to your family. Go ahead, berate me for that comment but you just ask anyone else on FMinor how much I have offered - an even sent through the post at my own expense. There are those of us who you know nothing about whatsoever.

<div dir="ltr"><font style="font-size:16pt;" face="Tahoma,sans-serif" size="4">I hope you've all had a load of fun commenting on 'this Beethoven' and 'that Beethoven' and pitting your wits against the FMinor "experts" <i>who know absolutey more than you do</i> - <b><u>until of course they don't</u>, and of course they will never ever ever admit to it.</b><br><br>I'd name some names right here and right now but I don't really need to, do I? </font><font style="font-size:16pt;" face="Tahoma,sans-serif" size="4"><font style="font-size:16pt;" face="Tahoma,sans-serif" size="4">They've all signed their names here in this latest joust. </font>Still, I must mention my all time favourite: Bazzana, who wouldn't name Cornelia Foss in the GG biography. What's the matter Kevin, did you think that Glenn Gould was ashamed to have fallen in love? Was Cornelia ashamed to have fallen in love? For any reasons? Either of them? <br> The useless repetition of cliches which continue on the FMinor site is a dreadful scandal and an utter bore. BORE. Some of us have attemted to make something better of it but to no fucking avail apparently.. <br><br>We have unconvered enormous amounts of audio/video/and written materials which <b><u>we do not share with F Minor any longer</u></b> - since years already. And with good reason,</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" face="Tahoma,sans-serif" size="4"><font style="font-size:16pt;" face="Tahoma,sans-serif" size="4"> because too many of your members <u>are absolutely stingy shits</u> </font>and a complete waste of people's time <u>and never say thank you </u>and belong to Sony or otherwise..<br><br>So you just go on and play your trashy eoistic games and vaunt each other's names <u>and refuse</u> to acknowledge any of those of us who have taken steps further than you have but without your 'credentials', with no 'official' plastic cards pinned to our vests: armed only with our curiosity, love of music, passion and an absolute distate for what passes for 'discourse' on FMinor ie Apple computer fan boys and such like. <br><br>If GG had recorded that Beethoven 7th no one would have even had admitted it, right Bazzana? Perhaps Lukas Foss performed it under Gould's name? <br><br>Don't you dare site me for calumny.<br><br>Good Bye,<br>Mary Ellen<br><br><br></font> </div>
